All papers have been anonymously refereed, and I would like to thank the reviewers (Murat Aydede, Sandy Berkovski, David Chalmers, Tim Crane, Hilmi Demir, Katalin Farkas, Shaun Gallagher, Kourken Michaelian, Vincent Müller, Emre Özgen, Erdinc Sayan, Simon Wigley, and Bill Wringe) for their kind help in the selection process. Their input is very much appreciated.

We have received 91 submissions, which is an impressive number, roughly the same as the number of submissions that established conferences in philosophy (with several subfields of the discipline) receive. I have tried to accommodate referees’ first choices regarding the submissions, when their positive opinion was strong enough. As a result, although many excellent submissions, including ones by several established philosophers of mind (some of whom I know personally and whose work I appreciate) did not make it to the final list, we have got, I would say, a very nice mix of topics, types of philosophical and scientific approach, and author backgrounds (the list of authors happens to contain all academic ranks: graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors)

The geographical spread of the authors’ affiliations is also quite impressive:

As a result of this success in attracting submissions, (a) we increased the number of accepted papers to 12 (initially we thought of 8 to 10 at most), and (b) I will work on organizing a similar conference every year, but with 3 days of talks and about 15 accepted submissions. Special thanks to Prof. Varol Akman for suggesting the above points, (a) and (b).
